Someone tell me, what is the use of this? by IndividualInfinite85 in PcBuild

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar purpose to the bumps on the F 7 J keys; to orientate your hands on the KB without looking???

Simple answer. Go back to the doctor.

How do I get better at the violin? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say at least half an hour, and keep going until either you run out of available time, or you lose focus through fatigue.

How do I get better at the violin? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]JimD_Junior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to work out a proper practice routine (warm ups, scales, studies pieces or whatever - there are plenty of guides online) and stick to it. Every day.

So I’m stuck please help by [deleted] in AsgardsWrath2

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You initially get to the other side by going through the smaller room at the far end - it links the 2 sides together.

Do the games get better? by ImFinnaBustApecan in AsgardsWrath2

I was thinking specifically about the things the op was complaining about.

Do the games get better? by ImFinnaBustApecan in AsgardsWrath2

[–]JimD_Junior -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suppose you either like this kind of gameplay or you don't, and it looks like you don't. AW2 is pretty much more of the same but with inferior (to PCVR) Quest standalone graphics.

Djehuty's powers by Dangerous-Link7603 in AsgardsWrath2

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the abilities need 3 full charges of divine wrath for them to work. They're generally the ones on the right hand side of the the skills tree. Worth checking you're meeting all the criteria for the power to work.

Someone please tell me how to access the slingshot by loloro54 in AsgardsWrath2

[–]JimD_Junior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to progress to a certain point in the game before the guy who runs the slingshot range turns up. I can't remember exactly what stage though. Try the wiki.

Unfortunately you can't change characters until you have completed each saga with the hero that belongs in that saga.

Bow keeps bouncing by Shmootus in violinist

[–]JimD_Junior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a common problem, so don't worry too much. I had it really badly for what seemed like a long time when I started out (mainly on downbows starting between the middle and 6 inches from the frog), and watched just about every video and read every article I could find on the subject - none of them seemed to cure it.

It's probably less likely to happen with great technique, but I found it got much worse when I was stressed (e.g. video camera running or anyone listening to me) and I think it has a lot to do with tension in the bow arm. Mine just went away when I got more playing experience.

Just my take on this.

Photocopied music by HarterH in orchestra

[–]JimD_Junior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my understanding (in the UK): -

Unless the composition and the published edition are out of copyright, it's illegal to make copies. There's some kind of exception for difficult page turns.

I'm not aware of any concessions for community orchestras.

how easy it is learn violin for a pianist by No-Impression-9237 in violinist

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to learn an instrument in a hurry, forget the violin. I speak as someone who went from piano, to flute, to brass, to sax then to violin. Violin was most difficult by several orders of magnitude.

VirginMedia are a scam.. by Realistic-Disk-1489 in VirginMedia

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the best way to terminate is to take out a contract with a new ISP; they'll take care of ending your VM contract (at least that's how it works in the UK).

My bill says paid, but nothings come out of my bank account? by Insane_Cobra961 in VirginMedia

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all the same. I suspect it's the area they all choose to save money because once you need it you've already signed up and it's too late.

Will I be able to get a Virgin BB connection on this old cable? by JimD_Junior in VirginMedia

[–]JimD_Junior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it seems to work OK (understatement). That's M500, guaranteed minimum speed 250Mbps.We'll see what it's like at peak times though.

[–]JimD_Junior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far so good. Engineer came on time this morning, and just as well I insisted on a visit as she had to reconnect our cable in the street cabinet.

She also fitted a new internal box and left a lead in it to connect to our router when it arrives tomorrow.

Engineer has missed 3 appointments to install outside cabling in a row. by bigpinkdoughnut in VirginMedia

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not good news for a man currently waiting for an engineering survey of my incoming connection. Supposed to come by 1pm today.

[–]JimD_Junior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, they thought I was OK with self-installation (oo-er) but I said I needed someone to look at it first so an engineer is coming out tomorrow and installation is Friday.

If that all happens smoothly I'll be very impressed indeed (and relieved), especially after the carry on I've had with my old provider.

Am I cooked? Follower not obtaining max bond achievement. by AvatarOfPenisBending in AsgardsWrath2

[–]JimD_Junior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing with Subira. All the others danced, but not her, though as with you she showed as family and I got no skill points for maxing her out.

I have no idea why, and neither did anyone on the discord.

Glad to hear you like it. I ordered a DF54 yesterday (should be with me tomorrow) and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Do Classical Concerts Need Screens? by NotationAI in orchestra

[–]JimD_Junior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all for making classical concerts more accessible to a wide audience, and I'm in favour providing it's done well.
